Objective To explore the contamination of Salmonella in chilled meat foods in Yaohai District,to explore the prevention and control of foodborne disease risks caused by this type of bacteria,and to provide a reference basis for the construction of a detection system for Salmonella contamination in foods. Methods 130 chilled meat foods collected from supermarkets and farmers' markets in Yaohai District from June to September 2021 were selected as the research object.The genus and serum type of Salmonella were determined according to enrichment,isolation and culture,biochemical experimental identification and serological identification. Results A total of 10 strains of Salmonella were detected in 130 samples,with a detection rate of 7.69% (10/130).The detection rate was higher in July,followed by September,June and August.At the same time,by serotyping 10 strains of Salmonella,the number of Salmonella derby strains was higher,followed by Salmonella thompson,Salmonella abortus equi and Salmonella agona. Conclusion There is a risk of Salmonella contamination in chilled meat foods in Yaohai District,which should be monitored regularly.When processing this type of food,the raw and cooked should be separated and the operation should be standardized to prevent food-borne diseases.
